The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) Scheme
Money back for every kW of renewable energy you create
The Renewable Heat Incentive scheme was launched in July 2011. This Government scheme is intended to encourage the use of renewable, low carbon energy.
Through the RHI scheme, energy providers will pay energy users for every kW of renewable energy they produce. The precise figures are yet to be published but demand for renewable heating systems has already started to increase to take advantage of the RHI scheme.
Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme – 2 Phase Roll Out
The RHI scheme will be introduced in two phases.
In Phase 1, long-term tariff support will be targeted in the non-domestic sectors. This will primarily be the larger heat users - industrial, business and public sector – which contribute almost 40% of the UK’s carbon emissions. Under this phase there will also be support of around £15 million for households, via the Renewable Heat Premium Payment.
Phase 2 will see the RHI scheme extended to households, as they move to the same form of long-term tariff support offered to the non-domestic sector in the first phase. This transition will be timed to align with the Government’s Green Deal, due to commence in October 2012.
RHI – Invest in Mitsubishi Electric Heat Pump Systems
Installing Mitsubishi Electric air conditioning and heating systems will not only help companies to achieve renewable energy targets, they will also reduce running costs and help companies meet their carbon reduction targets.
Mitsubishi Electric’s advanced heat pump systems will become even more viable, as they will earn users money back for every 1kW of renewable energy they produce.
RHI details are yet to be finalised, but it's expected that it will:
- Reward investors, i.e. system owners. for the cost of renewable heat
- Support ‘useful’ renewable heat, such as space and water heating
- Give a return on investment of around 12% across all technologies
